Former President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a tense meeting in the Oval Office on Friday. The meeting, which began cordially, ended with Trump shouting at Zelenskyy, accusing him of gambling with lives and scrapping a minerals deal. This confrontation marks a shift from their earlier interactions, including a controversial 2019 phone call that led to Trump's impeachment. The recent meeting raised concerns about U.S. support for Ukraine amid ongoing conflict with Russia. Since Russia's invasion in 2022, the U.S. has provided significant military aid to Ukraine. Trump's recent comments and behavior suggest a complicated and evolving relationship with Zelenskyy, contrasting with the Biden administration's consistent support for Ukraine.
